I moved to Golden 40 years ago.  It was a different place at that ime.  Our house was on the market for at least 8 months before Bob and I purchased it.  Golden's downtown was struggling financially with several vacant buildings.  The town didn't There wasn't a golf course or the Community Center.  

But, it was a place I knew I wanted to live.  I grew up in a town about the same size as Golden, the youngest of 9 (that teaches the importance of compromise and collaboration!).  

Growing up - once I could cross Main Street safely, I could go about anywhere on my own - school, the library, the one park with the swimming pool, downtown.  Golden had that same feel for me -- a beautiful, safe place to live.  I believed the City would make a comeback.   We moved in.  I spent the next many years raising our children here and working in the telecommunications industry in a variety of roles - first line supervisor, individual contributor, expert witness, and senior director.  

Even though I have lived here my entire adult life, we may not have met yet.  I look forward to meeting you and learning what is important to you about Golden.  I am here to listen.
